I’m cleaning out the inbox this evening, which swelled to quite the impressive size during the chaos of the holidays and I couldn’t delete this one without first sharing. It came through a local mailing list, with the subject header,...

This morning's edition of the Chattanooga Times Free Press features an article on Mia Bergeron, a portrait artist currently working on "The Faces of Chattanooga," an ambitious project undertaken with the help of a 2008 MakeWork grant. Check out the...
I was hoping to update my blog with my new years goals, unfortunately, my little boy is so sick. The doc says it is a viral infection. Please pray for him, it has been 2 long nights
